Any suggestions on IPTV boxes for seniors ? I'm trying to get my parents away from their current TV service that there getting robbed on and switch over to an IPTV service.

I need some suggestions on good boxes. I use a Sheild TV but I'm not sure if that'll be too confusing for them.

They don't really use the EPG guide. They just search via channel number and a peice of paper that they have. Numbers on the remote are a must.

I'm just worried about pop-ups for software updates or other confusing things to happen. Mabey staying away from Android is a better idea ? Are mag boxes any good ?

Hi l use my iptv mag box to view movie and old TV shows. I have no problem with the movies but the TV shows stops half way through the show and say the file is missing. Any help would be great

I have always used IPTV Simple Client PVR add-on with Kodi to stream IPTV m3u links. I feel it works "good enough" for me (I don't time shift or VOD, just stream channels). Do any other apps offer some improvements or features I could be missing out on?

Thanks friends.

Hi All,

I've done some searching but I don't really know which players support portal URL.

I'm used to using TiviMate with M3u urls but that's no longer an option for me.

Hi

I'm trying to get IPTV running on my new Chromecast with Google TV, but none of the ones I have tried will let me connect.

So far I have tried:

• IPTV Smarters Pro
• GSE SMART IPTV
• OTT Navigator IPTV
• IPTV Extreme

I'm connecting through NordVPN, this is working fine on my Android phone, so I should work on Chromecast with Google TV as well I hope?

Where to find the best EPG lists, thanks

Hi, I currently have a mag-420 box and when loading the portal I’m getting the error “STB not supported”. I’m pretty sure this is not an issue with my provider, but more so an issue with the mag box itself.

Through my googling, I came across people using firestick, chrome cast and other devices to stream IPTV. So I was wondering, should I just forget about the mag box and find a better way of streaming my IPTV? I’m not sure what is the best way to go about this so any help is appreciated.

TLDR: Currently using mag box for streaming. Wondering if there is better hardware to use.

Hi ! I have a buzz-tv XPL3000 and scheduled recording won't work. What i do is go in EPG and select the show i want to schedule for record. It then appear in my scheduled recording. When it's time to record, it switch to the appropriate channel but don't actually record anything. After the show, the recording appear in the PVR recorded list but i can't open it. When i go check directly in my external HDD, i can see that it created the file but it's empty (Size is 0 Byte).

However, if i'm watching a channel and record it live, everything works fine, it record proprely. It's just the scheduled ones that doesn't work.

Any ideas how to fix that ?

I'm seeing letters like "Travel West (Y)", "truTV (S)" and "Discovery (P) (F)"?

Any ideas what these bracketed letters in the channel names mean?

Thanks

As title says, prefer 5ghz WiFi aswell

What’s you’re thoughts on them?

Hi,

My provider is finishing m3u support but I use vlc on my laptop to record. Are there any programs for PC that will allow me to enter u/n and p/w and still be able to record ?

Thanks.

Hi guys. I hope you can give me an answer for this problem. I have a lgwebos and i use smartiptv as iptv player for a m3u link. There is a specific channel that when i play it, will freeze up my tv and it will restart. When it happens i cant do anything with the remote, just wait for it to restart. Its so frustrating. Sometimes it takes a few minutes for it to happen; sometimes after a restart if happens a few seconds later. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thank you

hello i have a current iptv provider at the moment but on VOD there isnt subtitles and using XCIPTV exoplayer allows to insert subtitles but i need a url for it anyone have a url for subtitles?

Hi guys - just bought a Formuler GTV to play around with, coming from a Shield with Tivimate. My provider has catchup, and one of the things I love about TiviMate is the ability to change to a channel with catchup and rewind the _currently playing_ show instantly.

I can't seem to figure out how to do this with My TV Online 2 - it's great for navigating catchup for shows that have completed airing, but again, I want to be able to rewind a currently playing show. If I map a button to my remote for rewind and try that, it just asks me to insert storage media (for timeshifting channels WITHOUT catchup I imagine).

Any advice appreciated, thanks!

Hey, Just wondering if anyone knows the best app to use with Apple TV’s. I have GSE smart iptv and every day at 6.30 pm to 11 everything starts to lag and buffer. My internet is over 200mbps so it should be okay. Just thinking is it the provider or is there anything I might be missing

I have a samsung 7 series and have used IPTV for about three years now. I have always used my android boxes. I am on my 3rd on now. I lo e Tivimate and the others. I am looking for an IPTV PLAYER for my samsung TV that works good. SET player is my goto, but can't search for series or add favorites. Smarters app isn't pro on my store, even though it says it is. Duplex is not very user friendly. I need one for live TV, VOD, and series. Thanks

Hi I currently use a firestick at the min, purely because when ive bought android boxes before the remotes are shockingly slow. My firestick can be hit and miss with speed of streams sometimes. I like to use smarters with vlc and dont really have issues. I was thinking of getting something different though. Can anyone recommend a decent android box with a decent fast remote? Thanks!

So I’ve just recently learned about IPTV as a whole about a month ago as I have a relative that’s been using it for a while now. I noticed just how better it is compared to paying for standard cable so I decided to use the same service they do. However, there is this certain channel which is the main one I use which always seems to have issues around the afternoon. Some days it’ll buffer while other days the visuals and the audio will be completely different with one being fast forwarded and the other delayed, as expressed in the title. This only seems to happen on certain times as other times it will run smoothly*. As previously mentioned, I’m still quite new to this and I’ve tried running speed tests and trying new IPTV apps on my Firestick and nothing seems to work, only thing I’m thinking it could be at this point is my provider.

*I realized this only seems to happen on that channel for my area done I’ve tried that same channel but from different regions and all seem to work. Still not sure how this could affect anything though.

TL;DR: Just got into IPTV and noticed the main channel I watch has issues around the afternoon time. Is there a way to fix this?

So, years ago Filmon was a fantastic resource for IPTV links. A few years ago the direct IPTV links died. Does anyone know if this is still a possibility? Filmon provided stable UK freeview channels, they still do, I just can't incorporate it into my IPTv setup. I've attempted to use freely available m3u files, but they just keep failing after a week. I know it's available on Kodi, and through their app, but unable to place channels (BBC 1,2,3, ITV, Channel 4, Dave, More 4, and others) alongside my other IPTV channels.

Any help with this would be HUGELY appreciated!

(Note: This is a request for Freeview channels, not paid services.)

Here is my current situation: I have 2 TVs (Samsung and LG), each with its IPTV subscription (not the greatest but it's ok) and each TV has its own box ( MAG254 + mi-box). I'm trying to see if the box choice might help improve the experience a bit, thought I think the performance of the channels is very related to the subscriptions quality themselves,

​

So, I bought a used Nvidia Model: P2897. I understand that it's ranked high compared to other boxes. I do not have a remote for it though. I'm thinking to replace the MAG254 to see if there is a difference.

​

1- What do I need to do to install the Nvidia, should I first touch base with the IPTV seller to let him know that I'm a replacing the box, so he can give me some indications or some links?

2- Anyone has a link to a video that shows how to install the Nvidia box? I have no clue where to start!

3- If I buy a used Nvidia remote, will it be compatible with the box, do I need somehow to program it to make it work?

​

Thanks.

​

PS: please note that I'm not expert in all this hard/software TV world, just trying to read and learn and get the optimal solution to watch foreign TV channels from time to time ...

Update: I ended up buying an original Nvidia remote (second hand), used a mouse/USB dongle to get to the pairing menu, paired the remote and was able to use the box normally with the remote. Next, I will have to compare the performance of the shield/Mag/mi-box.

Does anybody no best Android box around £80

Hi all, I normally only get local channels but today all of a sudden I have access to hundreds of IP channels without ever having signed up. I had to Google what iptv even is so please excuse my ignorance!

Do I need to worry about this? Like that I'm paying for it without knowing? How does this even happen?! I have centurylink and an LG tv.
